These are a few of the
stories Suzanne Sherman
presents in her new book,
100 Years in the Life of an
American Girl. The book
gives a unique look at real
life in every decade of a
century. A memoir writer,
editor, coach, consultant and
memoir teacher, Suzanne
collected the fifty-six stories
from women and girls born
between 1907 and 2001
and transformed them into
compelling, cohesive narratives, always retaining the storytellers’ voices.

Each of the ten chapters (ten decades) includes several personal tales about the life and times of a fast-changing century. The chapters open with a short history of the decade for context and entertaining pop culture highlights that are fun to learn about and remember. Did paper dolls entertain you in the 1920s? Or yo-yo’s? Did you read the first Nancy Drew mystery when it came out in the 1930s? Did you have a Barbie, the doll named for the creator’s daughter, when it came out in the 1950s? Was the Walkman a best-ever birthday present in the 1980s? Maybe the Game Boy was your favorite toy, or your first laptop for playing computer games, like Minecraft.
